Flu Shots
In order to remain healthy during the cold and wintery seasons, a flu shot will often protect you from a serious and miserable case of the flu. Although the flu shot doesn't always provide total protection against the many strains of the flu, it is definitely worth getting.
Shingles
Shingles is a painful and potentially dangerous virus that can affect anyone. Fortunately, the risk of developing shingles can be significantly reduced through the Shingles immunization. The Shingles immunization is a one-time shot that helps protect individuals from developing shingles. The immunization is most effective when given to adults over the age of 50, and is recommended for anyone who has already had chickenpox.
Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. It can be mild or severe and can be fatal, especially in young children and older adults. Immunization is the best way to protect against pneumonia. Vaccines are safe and effective and can help to reduce the risk of infection from the most common types of pneumonia. Pneumonia immunizations are an important part of protecting your health and the health of your family. Vaccines are available to protect against the most common types of pneumococcal bacteria and many of the less common types.
TDAP
TDAP immunization is a vital vaccine for children, adolescents, and adults. It protects against three bacterial diseases: Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (whooping cough). Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can enter the body through cuts and scrapes, and can cause severe muscle spasms, difficulty breathing, and even death. Diphtheria is an infection that can affect the nose, throat, and airways and cause difficulty breathing, heart failure, and even death. Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory infection that causes coughing fits and can even lead to pneumonia. TDAP immunization can help protect against all three of these diseases. It is highly recommended that all children, adolescents, and adults receive the TDAP vaccine to ensure their safety.
Meningitis
Meningitis is a serious illness that can have life-threatening consequences if left untreated. Immunization is the most effective way to protect yourself and your family from the disease. Vaccinations for meningitis are recommended for all children, adolescents, and adults.
